Christmas party on the weekend Did everybody exit okay? Everybody hold themselves together? Christmas parties are a stressful time for people I for employees. I was pretty tame, to be honest. Yeah, good. Pretty well behaved.

I was good. You were good? Yeah. I was out early. That's why I ask. I feel like I missed the messy end of the day. Ben and I were the last couple of the last people standing. Weren't we, Ben?

Yeah. We went on to the kick-on kick-ons because it was near Ben's house. That's why I went. So I think that was a big reason why he went. And kind of near my house too. You didn't just decide to kick all the way to your own house? Yeah, I did. Yeah, pretty quickly after arriving.

Right, okay. Oh, you stayed for a little bit. Yeah, probably an hour or so. You stayed. I ordered $120 worth of McDonald's for everyone there. Legend. You know, just to be that person. Just cheeseburgers?

Nah. Did I have some fries? Was it fries? Yeah, there was fries, cheeseburgers, Big Macs, quarter pounders and Cokes and Sprites. How many people? Oh, no Cokes and Sprites. No, they're an asset. Yeah, they can't be meals.

You've got to hydrate yourself. Yeah. Well, I'm not hydrating myself with Cokes and Sprites. Yeah, that's not... Well, no, but that's the thing of kick-ons. You've got to stay up somehow. Yeah, Cokes and Sprites. What's a Sprite gonna do for you At that time in the morning

A Coke sugar Pick you up Yeah sugar There's more sugar In a bloody RTD Anyway look I wasn't there Shout out to Storm Who I love Storm so much

He's the biggest sweetheart He works at ZM And the other radio station That's our sister station Flavor He DJ'd at the kick-on And then also DJ'd at the kick-on kick-ons. Yeah, just moves around with his decks. It was so good.

How much did he charge you guys for that? He didn't charge us anything. A Big Mac. A Big Mac. Well, I don't even know if he ended up getting anything. He was too busy DJing. He was too busy. I was like, Storm, do you want to come hang out?

And he's like, no, I'm good. I think once he set the DJ up at the after party and had the speaker out, that's when I was like, this is taking so, I'm going. Still good, though. It was good. It was fun. Yeah. Oh, well, I stayed home and watched James Bond, so.

Lad. Oh, yeah. What happens? No, don't say anything. I won't spoil it. Thanks. I won't spoil it. It's good, though.

That's what we like to hear after Spectre. Here's my recommendation. On Netflix, a movie called Molly's Game. So good. True story. Do you have a quick synopsis? True story about a woman named Molly Bloom who was set to be an Olympic athlete in freestyle skiing. Oh, yeah.

Had to get her back and stuff fused together when she was like 13 and then kept skiing and then had a really bad accident in the qualifiers for an Olympics. And anyway, she ended up moving to LA and she somehow got involved in like underground

poker games. She wasn't playing but she was organising and keeping spreadsheets and running, essentially running these games. Oh, shit. As you do. She wasn't playing, but she was organising and keeping spreadsheets and running, essentially running these games. And then, yeah, wrote a book about it and there was all these famous actors and actresses and famous people that were involved in these games. Is that illegal to do? So this is what you learn in the movie.

I'd say so. Because I don't know a lot about poker, but so essentially what she was doing when it was organising, you know, these kind of poker games, it was all legit and it's not illegal. As soon as you do something called a rake, which is where you like take a bit off the top of the kitty. For yourself. To cover just in case one of the players bets something they don't have and then another person's like, where's my money?

And that person doesn't have it, then you have the money, but you're not meant to rake anything. But she – anyway, essentially you need to watch the movie, but it's a true story about this woman named Molly Bloom who – very intelligent woman. Sounds like another James Bond movie, Casino Royale. Great movie. Yeah, exactly like that.

Yeah, exactly. Do you hate all Daniel Craig Bond movies? No, Skyfall is the best Bond movie, and he did grow on me in that movie. Right. I'm very particular about James Bond, but yeah, Skyfall is the best. Why watch James Bond when you can watch a Jack Reacher movie? I have seen...

That's what I asked myself. I'm halfway through my second Jack Reacher book. They're bringing out a TV show, Amazon, about that. Are they? And the casting is very good. Is it better than Tom Cruise? Way better. Hold up.

I met the author of the Jack Reacher books. He came here. Very interesting man. Did you know that he named the character Reacher because that was the nickname his wife had for him because he's really tall, the author, and he used to reach shit high up at the supermarket? I've told you this before and you didn't believe me.

That could be a yarn. People, when they've done enough interviews, they start making up bullshit things to keep it interesting for themselves. That sounds like one of those where they start I did my backup research and he's said it before but then yeah he probably is. He's kind of that type of guy that would

say that sort of thing. Oh that's the TV show Jack Reacher. Yeah that's better. Because the character's meant to be 6 foot 7 and Tom Cruise cast himself as Jack Reacher. Yeah this guy's massive. That's some big D energy though. Oh Alan Richardson Alright, um

Whoa, he's whoa Hey Google What's the time? It's 3pm, give or take a minute Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio Playing ZM on iHeartRadio Hey Siri, when are Bree and Clint on? Bree and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Kia ora everybody. Welcome to the show. It's Brie and Clint on our fifth to last show of the year. That's right. We're nearly there. I literally feel like it was this time last year though. Like I remember it that like it was yesterday. I remember when we went on that juicy, um, juicy fan tour. Oh my God. Yes. It feels like yesterday. Z remember when we went on that juicy Oh my god, yes. That feels like yesterday. ZM's ultimate summer roadie and it was winter the whole time we were there. Yeah. That feels like two days ago. Yeah, mate

the years are right off. When you look back at 2021, this year of your life I don't know whether it will exist in your memory for a lot of people. To be fair, I don't remember 2009 10. I remember 2011 because we don't remember 2009, 10. I remember 2011 because we won the Rugby World Cup. Oh, yeah, see.

12, 13, 14. I remember 15. Why? We won the Rugby World Cup. Okay, so they're the only years that you remember something like that. Yeah, everything kind of blurs. But this year is just a big bucket of pus. Well, they say it's because there's not like big life events or big things that happens because you're locked down.

I had a kid this year. That happened, that's right. Probably should remember that. Yeah, good year actually. Hope she's not listening. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out, Maggie.

Poor thing. We know who the favourite... She's a Hodaki listener. We know who the favourite kid is. I had a really weird thing happen to me today where I was on Instagram and one of my really close mates, like really close from back home, I noticed they posted about they have COVID. Oh, wow.

Yeah. And that's probably because, I mean, I've seen like, you know, famous people that I follow and a few people have got COVID and this and that. But the first time it's happened to me where someone super close to me has gotten it i found out a friend's partner has covid over the weekend not in new zealand though like overseas in a country where covid's way more oh see this is in australia yeah where i used to live australia similar to us as far as cases and stuff goes. It's not crazy amounts of cases every day. It's going not too bad there at the moment now, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, because everyone, and my friends double vaccinated, so they're all right. Yeah. I think they're on the up now. They posted it once they, you know what I mean? Once they knew that they were all good. Yeah, well, great year, everybody.

Let's wrap this thing up, shall we? Today on the show, we're going to give you a shot at sharing or stealing 200 litres of Zed share tank fuel again at 4 o'clock. Great game, this. You've just got to decide whether you want to take it all or you want to split it 100 litres each with another random person on the phone. Yeah, I can't wait to play that again.

The Auckland border opens this Wednesday for the first time in four months. Let us out of this place. Name a suburb in Auckland. Lady. Tracy, for the win. East Tamaki. East Tamaki is a suburb in Auckland, which means you win! You got it!

I felt like, Sam, that wasn't even your fault because she didn't give you one look in. That was an absolute down trowel. Well done, Tracy. Thanks. Where have you been all year, Trace? The ladies needed you. I've been trying.

I've been trying. Well, keep trying next year. We'd love to have you back on. Got a story about Megan? Megan. Megan. Megan the Stallion? Yeah.

Megan the Stallion. I think Megan the Stallion is a very Kiwi way of saying it. I know, but I like saying it because there's a girl in the office here, one of my good mates, called Megan, and I always call her Megan the Stallion. That's how you tell them apart. Yeah, right. She's Megan the Stallion. And this one over here is Megan Thee Stallion.

The jury's still out. I don't think they have Megans in America. Rihanna? Rihanna. Rihanna. But yeah, we say Rihanna. But is that the Kiwi way? I think they say Rihanna and we say Rihanna.

Because they say Meg. What do I say? They say Meg over there. Rihanna. Megan. I say Rihanna. Yeah, Rihanna. Ri-ri. Yeah. Rihanna and we say Rihanna. Because they say Meg. What do I say? They say Meg over there. Rihanna. Megan. I say Rihanna. Yeah, Rihanna. Rih, Rih.

Yeah. Rihanna. Yeah, Megan. Megan. Anyway. So this story you're about to tell, is this about Megan Thee Stallion from that WAP song or is this about Megan Thee Stallion from ZM? It's the WAP one.

Got it. Okay, cool. The story about her, you know she's only 26. She's so young. Yeah, well. Story about her today, her real name is Megan Pete. Oh, yeah. Not Thee Stallion.

No, I was just as shocked as you. Right. Yeah. Turns out her middle name is not Thee. Thee. She got her bachelor's degree. Did she? Yeah, she's been studying.

Why did she bother doing that? Well, it's actually a really sweet story because you joke because I thought the same thing. And I only say that because she's rich. Yeah, and I mean she's obviously doing pretty well for herself in the rap game. But she has been studying. She really wanted to get her degree because she said it would have made

her mum really proud and she lost her mum to cancer a little while ago. Yep. And she said her mum saw her start the degree and was so proud of her for doing it, so she wanted to finish it for her mum. Yeah, that'll do it. Yeah, which is really sweet. Anyway, have a guess what Megan Thee Stallion's degree is in. Did she start her degree before she started rapping?

I don't know. Right. I'm not sure. Does her degree have anything to do with music? No. Okay. I'll give you that hint. She went to Texas Southern University.

And what did she study? Does she have a bachelor's degree in physiotherapy? No, no, no. Veterinary science, hence the stallion bit. Is she a vet? No. Oh. No.

Megan the stallion has earned her bachelor's degree in health administration. Health administration? Yeah. Are those people who administer health to people, or are they people who do the administration like... It's like working in a hospital or... Like on the desk.

Well, to be honest, I'm not going to comment because I don't exactly know. Right. But I saw her talking about... She's in healthcare. She's in healthcare. Right. It's saw her talking about. She's in healthcare. She's in healthcare. Right. It's a good thing to fall back on. Yeah, which I mean is essentially why she knew so much

about the anatomy in that song WAP. She's got a degree. Well, she didn't actually know all of it. She didn't have the degree when she did that song. So she's actually going back and fact checking. She was still learning. The lyrics in that song now too. I think good on her. That's really sweet

that she wanted to do that to make her mum proud. Really sweet. So interesting though. Can you imagine being in her class? I know. It'd be so weird. And they're like, oi, aren't you Megan the Stallion? I think she did all of her stuff online. You'd hope so. But I wish she had went to some

in-person classes because that would have been fantastic. That would have been so good. Cardi B's picking her up from school. Kitty and Henny. I thought we could ask, we could play a bit of a game this afternoon because when I think Megan Thee Stallion, I don't think health administration.

Like, to me, I mean, awesome and stoked, but I love when people surprise administration. Like to me, I mean awesome and stoked, but I love when people surprise you where you're like, oh, I couldn't really picture you doing this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what you mean. It'd be like if you found out if I, you know, was a neurosurgeon. Yeah, okay. Do you know what I mean?

Okay. You'd be like, really? Sit the bar a bit lower. You? Are you sure? Oh, I see what you mean. You do the surgeries. Right, right, right, right, right.

I thought people could call up. You and I will ask a couple of questions. Yeah. I have one qualification, by the way. Do you want to guess what it is? You get to ask a question. It's not radio. I didn't get my radio qualification.

It's not radio. You're definitely, you're kind of a Bachelor of Arts. A BA, a generic degree. No, I don't. I have a certificate in chairlift rescue. That's my big achievement. How many years? Is that a dual degree?

Yeah, it's actually a doctorate. A couple of years? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's a three-year degree? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fantastic. 0800 dials at M. Call up and we'll ask you a couple of questions

and then Clint and I will endeavour to guess what degree or certificate or qualification you have. Doesn't matter if it came from a polytech, a wananga... Everywhere. A university Or Less Famous rapper Megan Thee Stallion That's a pretty good stallion

That's pretty good, eh? Pretty good Can you do a stallion? Yeah Go on Oh no, just visual occasions Go on Wait, one more try, one more try.

Pretty good, eh? Anyway. Now ask me to do one. Can you do a stallion? You only wanted me to do it so you could do it. It's one of my body tricks. And now there's pressure. Yeah, a lot of pressure.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, it lot of pressure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, it's not bad. Yeah, it's not bad. Was it worth the build up? Not sure. Nah, probably not. She has got her bachelor's degree

in health administration. After four and a half minutes of debating whether it's Megan or Megan, apparently we have a clip which will tell us exactly

how to say it. This is her graduating and we'll learn from this. Megan Pitt. Yeah, but I mean, how does that woman know? Yeah, I can't get past her accent. Yeah, exactly. So she is a Bachelor of Health Administration, unexpected.

And she also sings the song WAP with Cardi B. And, of course, this one. Oh, yeah. I'm a savage. Classy, bougie, ratchet. Sassy, moody. So we're going to play a game this afternoon where we're going to ask you a couple of questions

and try and guess the degree or qualification that you have. Yeah, I mean, shoot for degree. That'd be nice, but it doesn't have to be a degree. It can be anything. I'm looking forward to this. Our first candidate is Fiona. G'day, Fi. Hello.

radio. They bring our average up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bree and Clint. Come for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, everyone is talking all things the new Spider-Man and I'm just going to put it out there

Tom Holland and Zendaya are my new favourite couple goals. They are the best couple in Hollywood, Dean. They really are. Now, I'm seeing the movie tomorrow, so when we cross tomorrow, I'll have, like, a bit of a review of the movie. It comes out in New Zealand December 16.

I know, right? Now, this, like you said, it's so hot right now, but on set whilst making the film, Tom Holland has confessed that he actually farted on Zendaya. Now, there's a lot of talk about the fact that she's two inches taller than him, but during one of the scenes, apparently, you know, his suit is very, very tight and they were apparently, like, levitating through the air.

Have a listen to this. He's actually shared with it during an interview. Love it. Any injuries on that one? Any slamming into walls on that one? Yeah, I farted on Lilo, unfortunately. It's tough. The suit's tight.

The harness squeezes. Fessed up or did one of them rat you out? No, I fessed up. Immediately was like, oh. I felt the rattle. Sorry about that. That's my bad. And then Zendaya goes on to say how funny it was

and that it was hilarious and they all laughed about it. Dean, you don't know this and Clint doesn't know this either, but I was like, oh, this story is for me. I'm going to do some digging and see if I can find any audio from the actual filming, the taping. Oh, here we go. And we've actually tracked some of it down. This is a ZM exclusive.

This is audio apparently from Tom Holland filming Spider-Man and accidentally farting on Zendaya. Go, Webb, go! Wow, that's a scoop. There it is. Got it. No other show has that audio. Do you want that for your other affiliate partners?

Do you want to take that to any of your Dubai radio stations? I don't think that was Webb. Yeah, actually, we have the rights to that one, I think. Yeah, that's exclusive. There you go. That's the latest. December 16th. Let's just focus on that.

Dean McCarthy's the man in the know. He's our Hollywood correspondent. And the latest is thanks to Swish. You can say it with Swish this Christmas. If you go to HeySwish.com, you can get 10% off if you use the code ZM10. My spidey senses are tingling. I don't think that's your spidey senses, Tom. Brie and Clint.

First, though, I saw this, a list that's been published by the New Zealand Herald, the definitive list of pop culture moments for each month of 2021. Oh, interesting. It's weird, eh? Because you get to this part of the year and then someone mentions something and you go, oh my God, was that actually this year? That's so weird.

Seems like so long ago. Yeah, especially after the vortex that we've been living in this year. So I thought we could go through this and reminisce on the year. Each month, what was the biggest thing? Back in January, the biggest thing going on was the inauguration of President Joe Biden. And that amazing 22-year-old girl named Amanda Gorman gave the speech. She had the yellow jacket and the red headband on. That was at the inauguration.

The big thing, though, was Bernie Sanders sitting on that fold-out chair with his mittens on. And every single meme that could have been possibly made out of that photo was made. And that filter where you could put Bernie Sanders sitting on his little fold-out chair with his mittens on next to you. That was the biggest moment of January 2021. It was a big pop culture moment. I still see memes with that photo.

Yeah, and it has endured. Shame that meme didn't happen before the election. Bernie might have actually won. But anyway, we got rid of Trump. February was all about the release of the Framing Britney Spears documentary. Leave Britney alone! The documentary where everyone went, oh my God, this conservatorship thing is bad. And even Justin Timberlake almost got cancelled from that documentary.

Yeah, it really started to ramp up, didn't it? And obviously that stuff about Justin Timberlake and the audio of him at the radio station talking about, you know, personal details of him and Britney's relationship came out. Having sex with her and stuff like that. Yeah, it was weird. It was real weird.

And it was the beginning of the movement, really. She's now free. Well, that all started back in February with that doco. March was the Oprah interview with Harry and Meghan where Harry called out his own family for being racist. That was bombshell stuff. Yeah, there was so many parts of that interview, wasn't there? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You couldn't even just pick one moment. There was like six or seven massive pieces. That's two must-watch interviews that Oprah's had this year, Adele and Harry and Meghan, and she's getting Britney next year. I mean, you know, the sky's the limit for Oprah. She could get her own show one day. Oprah, I think she might go all the way. She could, you know, do pretty well out of this.

April's a weird one. It felt like not much happened in this part of the year, but do you know who Bowen Yang is? No, I don't think so. He's the Saturday Night Live comedian who did the impersonation of the iceberg that sunk the Titanic. Do you remember that guy? I just think that a lot of people

might rather hear about the Titanic. You know. Oh, my God. Okay, wow. Okay, fine. You want to do this? Let's do this. First of all, you came to where I live and you hit me. He had an iceberg on his head. I don't remember that. Like I said, April, I don't think there's much going on there.

Had to pick something. Yeah, May. The biggest thing to happen in May. Do you want to have a guess what it was? May. I'll give you a clue. Oh, the Friends reunion. The Friends reunion.

That was massive. Most watched thing special this year on TV. Yeah, or maybe of all time or something like that. Yeah, it was crazy. In that special, just to reminisce, we found out that Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer had a crush on each other while they were filming the show and nobody knew about it.

And then there was rumours that they were hooking up now. Yes. Remember? Yeah, that happened, yes. And we found out that the monkey that played Marcel was an a-hole. Yes. But we were kind of like, wait, you're the a-holes who are making the monkey film and TV show.

Maybe you're the a-hole. Yeah. We're only at June. June, Kim Kardashian confirmed on Keeping Up With The Kardashians that she had filed for divorce with Kanye back in February. She said, I don't want a husband that lives in a completely different state. I want a husband who wants to work out with me. It's the simple things, you know.

Yeah. July, season two of Ted Lasso was released and everyone fell in love with Jason Sudeikis. August, Bennifer 2.0 is confirmed. Oh, this was massive. Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck. People are still losing their minds over that relationship. Yes. September, the biggest thing to happen in September,

everybody in the entire world was talking about the most watched Netflix show of all time. Squid Game. Squid Game. Yeah, that was big, wasn't it? That was a pop culture movement. Yeah. Also, Jason Sudeikis went to the emmys in that blue velvet suit and everyone was like oh my god he's so hot how do we never

know that jason sudeikis was hot but mostly squid game it was mostly about squid game was massive um october was huge william shatner aka the original captain kirk got blasted into space on a jeff bezzos rocket at age 90. Alec Baldwin accidentally shot and killed someone on the set of his movie Rust. Oh, yeah, that was horrible. November, Britney Spears got freed. That was probably the biggest moment,

pop culture moment of this year. Peter Jackson revived the Beatles with that eight-hour movie. Travis Scott's Astroworld happened and eight people died. And Taylor Swift released a 10-minute long, 10-year-old takedown of Jake Gyllenhaal with her song All Too Well. Yeah, that was huge as well, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And December, I mean, we're only a little way into December,

but what do you think the biggest moment of this has been? December. I don't know. I can't remember what happened last week. They're putting December's biggest pop culture moment down to the release of the reboot of Sex and the City. Yeah. And

Just Like That. The return of Sex and the City. I can't. I watched it. You've watched it too. Yeah. But you haven't seen the original. No. But you've watched this.

So you'll know what I'm talking about. But for people who haven't watched it, prepare yourself because I was emotionally shook. Yeah. The thing that happens in the first episode is the pop culture moment of December, I think. Like, it shook me to my core when I say that I cried for an hour.

I'm not joking. I mean, I'm already quite unstable at the moment, but I cried for a long time. There you go. What a shit year, but a lot of interesting things happened. There you go. Bree and Clint.

ZM Share or Steal with Z Energy. Huge. Another 200 litres of fuel up for grabs thanks to Zed Share Tank Fuel. You can find the lowest local fuel price and choose to use it when you want to this summer. I've absolutely loved playing this game. I'm so glad it's back for another week. This is where people, we're going to give them the option of 200 litres of Zed Energy Fuel. And with a complete stranger,

they need to decide whether they're going to share it with them or steal the whole lot. If they both say steal, no one gets anything. Olivia's here. Hi, Olivia. Hi, Olivia. Hi. Now, did you hear this game being played last week?

Yeah, I did. Okay, perfect. Ed's here as well. G'day, Ed. Hi, Ed. How's it going? You might be our first male contestant for Share or Steal. Yes.

Does that bring a different dynamic to the game? Who knows? Don't say anything, Ed. You don't want to give anything away. I want everyone to have the same. I get very competitive. Yeah. I just don't want someone to have a bigger advantage

than the other person. You'll answer in secret. You won't have to hear the other person, and I think we pop Ed into the cone of silence first. So, Ed, stay there, okay? We'll come back to you. Cool. Cool.

He's going on hold, which means, Olivia, it's just us. It's just us squirrel friends, Olivia, so tell us. What do you want to do? Do you want to share the 200 litres of fuel with Ed, or do you want to steal it for yourself? I want to share it. Oh, I love when people share. But you don't even know Ed.

You don't even know him at all. He owes you nothing, Olivia. I'm sure he's nice and it's Christmas. You don't know that he's nice. He literally said two words. We didn't let him talk at all. Do you think, Olivia, that Ed is going to share it with you as well? I hope so.

What? If he doesn't. Yeah, if he doesn't. If he steals it, you get nothing. I don't know. I'm a hopeful person. Oh? If he doesn't. Yeah, if he doesn't, if he steals it, you get nothing. I don't know. I'm a hopeful person. Oh, I like that attitude. All right, so you're locking in share.

Stay there with us, Olivia. We're going to bring Ed back. We need you to be quiet, okay? Okay. Ed, welcome back. All right, Ed. We have Olivia's answer. We know what she would like to do.

All we need now is to know from you, are you going to share the fuel or are you going to steal it? I don't reckon there's any benefit of saying share because it relies on what she says, so I'm going to be a bit selfish and say steal. Oh, my God, that is the most ruthless and strategic thing we've heard in the game so far, and you have stolen all 200 litres. You get all the fuel because Olivia chose to share it with you.

Wow. Oh, thank you. Apologies, but thank you. Oh, Dustin. There is an advantage. The advantage is that you both win, but you didn't see that as an advantage at all. Well, but if she'd said steal, I lose,

and so I'm relying on what she says, so... That's so gutting. You were definitely glass half empty in that way. Well, Ed, you played the rules correctly. There is nothing wrong with that, so you get 200 litres of Zed Shed tank fuel. Well done. Amazing. Thank you.

Olivia, sorry, mate. Sorry, Olivia. Oh, listen. Yeah, she's gutted. Yeah. Oh, she needs a new phone too. Listen. Oh. Jeez, you've ruined Christmas, Ed. But you've got lots of gas, so don't worry about it. There you go. That's share tank. Thanks to

Zed, it's where you can lock in New Zealand's lowest fuel price within a 30k radius. Save it for later or share it now. You can also shout your family some fuel this summer. We've had a lot of steals lately. I'm really hoping this week we get a few more shares. That one was brutal. That one was ruthless.

Listen to The Front Page at nzherald.co.nz slash podcasts and follow us on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. Brian Clint. Picture this. You're at the shops, you're Christmas shopping. It's very stressful. You're running from this shop to that shop.

You get back to your car and you realise, you put your hands in your pockets and you're like, it's not there, mate. It's going through your bag. It's not there. You've lost your phone. Uh-oh. Devastated.

You panic because not only are they expensive, they have a lot of private things on there, a lot of memories, stuff you might not be able to get back because you can't use the cloud. And some people have got $20 stuck in the back of a, between their phone case for an emergency. And that is an emergency. And where's your emergency money? You need your $20 stuck in the back of a, between their phone case for an emergency. And that is an emergency. And where's your emergency money? You need your $20.

Not there. It happened to a woman named Marnie Thomas. She was gutted to lose her phone while she was out shopping. Anyway, she tried to retrace her steps. She was going back to every shop. No one had it. Yeah. It was gone.

She was very upset because it had a lot of personal photos on there. She said she couldn't replace. So when she got back to her car in the car park, she noticed a note on her windscreen and she was like, oh, here we go. Someone's hit my car. My day's about to get worse. Yeah. So she went over and she pulls out this note And turns out someone had found the phone

And they had left it at a restaurant nearby And told her which restaurant it was at So she can go and pick it up Oh, had she left it on the roof of the car or something? Well, this is the thing I don't understand Because otherwise she must have left it on the car For them to know whose car to leave the note on Because it doesn't say in the story

Because the part of me is like, how do they know that was her car? She must have left it on the car or somewhere. Popped it on the roof while you do your business. Somewhere there. Yeah. Anyway, smart from the person who found it to leave a note on the car and then leave it at a restaurant because my train of thought would have been

I will take it with me so no one takes it and I'll get it back to them or they can come pick it up at another time. Risky that one. It's very risky in the age of find my iPhone because if they get home and they see that their phone's at your house before they've managed to contact you, they'll show up with their uncle who used to be a boxer and be like, oi, why have you got my niece's phone? Yeah, I was trying to get it back to you. Bullshit you were. Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever lost a phone? Yeah. When? When did you

lose a phone? I was after the Music Awards one year, fairly jolly and gave my phone to... What were you delivering presents? What were you doing? I was having presents delivered to me. I gave my phone to... What were you delivering presents? What were you doing? I was having presents delivered to me. I gave my phone to a girl to hold on to

while I was dancing. I didn't know her. Oh, so nice to give... Can you hold my stuff? She had a handbag. Can you put my stuff in your bag? She had a handbag and I didn't. So she said she would look after it for me. Anyway, the night progressed. got more and more intoxicated,

realised that she'd left the party and still had my phone. But I didn't know her at all and I didn't know where she lived. So I phoned my iPhone to where she was. And then the next day I went around to her house. She opened the door and she looked like she had been through hell. Like her makeup, she didn't wash her makeup off. She's like, why are you here? I was like, my phone's in your bag.

She goes, is it? And we had a look in the bag and there was my phone. Well, I mean, could have been worse. You didn't really lose it. You just left it in a stranger's bag. She's like, do you want to go and get breakfast? And I was like, no, thank you. See ya.

Remember when my phone got stolen in LA? That's right. We can get that one back though. This is about stories of finding your phone. But I know it's still a good story. We went out to that bar and having a great time. Very jolly. Probably too jolly. And I realised my phone

had been stolen. It was like the first night we were in LA, which was devastating for me. I had to cry. Anyway, we went. Brand new iPhone too. Brand new iPhone. Turned my iPhone. Oh, this is good stuff. We turned Find My iPhone on Producer Ellie's phone and then you know how

it can make a sound and it's like beep beep beep beep and we were doing that and we could hear it somewhere in the crowd and we were trying to find this a-hole who had stolen my phone. Anyway, we went back to the place the next day and there's literally signs everywhere that's like, watch out, phone stealers around.

Turns out we were in a very dodgy bar. Yeah. Seemed great at the time. Let's do some stories from people about how they got their phone back. Yeah, I want to know if you lost it. Yeah. But the story of how you got it back because there's quite a few different ways you can get it back.

Now, this woman, a kind stranger, left a note on her windscreen and that's how you got it back because there's quite a few different ways you can get it back. Now, this woman, a kind stranger, left a note on her windscreen and that's how she got it back. Maybe you used Find My iPhone and tracked it down. Maybe the person who found your phone was like a crack tech wizard who was able to get into the phone.

Do you think I was going to say addict? Yes, I did. You mean a hacker. A hacker, that's what I was looking for, yeah. A hacker. 0800 dial ZM. How did you get your phone back? You can also text us on 9696. Bree and Clint. We're talking about when

you lost your phone, but you ended up getting it back. Sorry, guys, I've got to take this. Hello? Okay. No, I'm just on the radio. Taylor on the radio, yeah. I'm on the radio.

We're talking about phones. I'm on the radio. I'm actually talking about phones right now and you just called really weird. Okay. All right, I'll call you back. Yeah, cool. Who was that?

It was my cousin. Yeah, nice. Yeah, organising secret Santa. Anyway, we're asking you for your stories. This might give hope to people who have lost their phone. Yeah. Because these are stories of triumph. How long's too long for hope?

If it's been gone for more than two weeks? There's some stories on here where people got their phone back after years. Really? Yeah. I don't know if that helps you straight away. No, you've got to get a new phone, yeah. But let's go to Amy first. Hi, Amy.

Hi, how are you going? Good, thanks. Tell us about the time you lost your phone and you got it back. So I was actually on the other end. So we were in town and we'd had a few drinks and I slid into the back of a taxi and I found someone's phone. And so I actually took it home with me and thankfully it was the same iPhone as me. So I put it on charge and then in the morning I get a call from them and I give them my

address and they come and pick it up and give me some maccas as a thank you. Oh, solid from them and solid from you. Did you ask the taxi driver if you could take it out of the taxi? Well, I didn't really know. It was an awkward moment because I didn't know if I left it with him, would they get back? Because what I know of taxi drivers is they hate people leaving their phone in their car because there's so much admin for them and it happens so often.

It's so annoying because then they have to try and get it back to you. And they charge you a return taxi fare if they have to drop the phone to you. They'll charge you to drive to your house. So I think you did the right thing. I think the taxi driver will be thankful. Well done, Amy. And you got free Maccas. Good karma points, fame.

How much Maccas, by the way? Are we talking cheeseburger deluxe combo? They actually brought two of, what are they called? Those hunger busters. Two hunger busters. Yeah. That's a nice thank you. Yeah, that's a good day's work.

I appreciate that. Gemma's here. Hi, Gemma. Hi, Gem. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. Tell us, was it you that lost the phone and got it back? It was.

I was travelling in South America and I left it on a bus on my way to the airport. Not a good place to lose your phone when you're travelling overseas. No, I definitely thought it was a goner and was not going to go get it back. So I flew to another country and I got... someone got in touch with me and they'd found it on the bus and

I got them to send it to a hotel where I was going to be in like six weeks time. Oh my god. And it was there when I turned up. Gemma, tell me on a scale of one to ten how, like, as if you would have thought that it was going to be there. Like, how surprised were you? I was so surprised, so happy.

I was a bit gutted because it was like the first few days I was in South America, so I didn't have a phone to take any photos. How about the foresight from you, though, to plan ahead and go, okay, send it. Oh, allow a lot of time. Send it to my hotel six weeks away. That's so clever. Yeah, very clever. On the go, just thinking, you know.

Well done. You want a Gemma on your trip. If you're going overseas, you want a Gemma in the group. She sounds organised. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ashley's here too. Hi, Ashley. Hi, Ash.

Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. Where did you lose your phone and you got it back? Well, it was actually my friend. We were at our other friend's 21st, so it was a few years ago now, and she went to the toilet and then came out crying into a Port-A-Loo toilet and came out crying and said that she dropped it down into the toilet. And yeah, yeah, really bad.

And just like couldn't get it out. You could kind of see it sitting in the top of what everyone else had been doing. That's so young. Yeah, it was really bad. And I thought, oh, you know, have a look at what company the toilet was from. And my dad works at Hyapool. And I was like, oh, it's a Hyapool portalo. So I called up dad and told him the story.

And we actually got it back as they pumped out everything out of the tank. And, yeah, got it back. And it still works. It was just, yeah. Do you want to put that next to your face, though? A phone is a very intimate object. Do you want that right up there touching your cheek and your mouth? How would they have found that in all of that stuff?

I heard Ashley that the phone was completely fine but the reception was a little bit shitty It's almost Christmas A time of giving for sure. Brie and Clint. It's almost Christmas, a time of giving. And this year, Brie, we've decided to get each other gifts from Swish. That's the site where you can get messages, personal messages to you or your loved ones from your favourite sports star.

You just plug in who you want and tell them who it's for and they record a nice little message for them. Quite a unique gift. Mm-hmm. A little bit different. A little bit unusual. So we've been going through there and figuring out exactly who we want to gift each other from Swish this Christmas.

Look, there's so many people on there, it's hard to decide who to get. Absolutely. You know? Yeah. I decide who to get. Absolutely. You know? Yeah. I found it hard too. Yeah, but I landed on, because obviously I wanted to get a gift for you. Yes.

And I was like, who do I get? And I feel like I've picked the perfect person. Do you? Oh, I feel like I've picked the perfect person. I feel like you're pretty smug about yours. Yeah, yeah. Well, I just think I've nailed you. I think I've just... Oh, me

too. Right. Well, that's the spirit of Christmas, right? Yeah, and we should know each other pretty well. So thoughtful. Yeah. So thoughtful. Look, I'm really excited. I'd love to get mine first. Would you like to gift me? Sure, sure. Look, when I was going onto the website Swish and I was like, what famous

athlete should I get? There's a lot. And I thought, you know, Clint always talks about one thing on this show quite a lot. Yeah. How he's been a day one fan of the Warriors. That's me, day one, baby. You know, you boast about it. You say you're a day one Warriors fan. And, you know, when I think rugby league of this country,

I think one person. Stacey Jones. I think Sean Johnson. Sean Johnson. Right, Sean Johnson, of course. And, I mean, if you're a Day One, you know that Sean is coming back to the Warriors. Absolutely.

For next season. So I have a personalised message for self-proclaimed Day One fan, Clint Roberts from the legend Sean Johnson. Oh, I'm excited. Hey, what's up, Clint? Sean here from the Warriors. Hey, pretty much just seeing you in this video

to try to get you on board and finally actually get you to support us for real. I've heard you're a Day One, but yeah, man, I just haven't seen you around the joint ever. I haven't seen you out at Mount Smart. I haven't seen you at any of the games. Never met you. So pretty much just want to try to get you over the line,

give you a shout out, get you along to a game and just support the boys because next year is going to be a fun and it's going to be a big year. So get on board, brother, and hopefully I can meet you one day soon. No, no, no, no, no, no. I know, I know, I know it's going to be a big year.

I'm a day one. This is a bit awkward. You've been called out by Sean Johnson. Yeah, that's a bit rough, actually. Who said he's never seen you. Look, I see what you've done. That's fine. And I'd like to just move on, actually. Who said he's never seen you. Look, I see what you've done. That's fine. And I'd like to just move on, actually.

Thank you for the gift. I appreciate it. I think what, I mean, it was very personalised. For your gift, equally personalised. Yes. So personal, I needed to get someone on to help us with this. Welcome to the show and Merry Christmas, Mama Di. Hi.

Oh, no. Hi, guys. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Hi, Mum. Miss you. I miss yous more, and I wish I was there, especially at the Christmas party on the weekend.

Yeah, that was fun. Yeah, you would have been the person who got sent home, I think. Hey, look, I want you here to witness Bree's Christmas present, and I know you guys are as a family. It's funny because mine's rugby league based too. Yeah, yeah. You guys love rugby league, don't you, Mama Di? Absolutely.

Mum, would you say we're day one rugby league in general fans? Oh, look, we're the top notch fans. I mean, we do nearly anything. Well, yeah, we are day one fans. Yeah, absolutely. Day one. Yeah, absolutely. Day one. If I could get Brianna a message from any NRL great, like a captain, say, who do you think I should get her a message from for Christmas?

Oh, my God, Cameron Smith. Cameron Smith, captain of the Maroons. I knew it was going to be Cameron Smith. I don't know who you've got, but you should have just got it for my mum. Well, I can confirm I have a state of origin captain for you, Brie. Merry Christmas. Hey, Brie. James Sadesco here.

I know how much of a supporter you are. Your blood runs blue. Even though you're from Queensland, you're a proud New South Wales supporter. So is your mum and dad. I just want to say a huge thank you for all the support and a big Merry Christmas. Let's go back to back next year. Up the Blues. Up the Blues. Oh, you are kidding me, Clint.

You're off the Christmas list now. But I have to say he's the best looking New South Wales player. Yeah, he's a great looking guy. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Oh, kid. That's so disappointing. I hate him so much because he led his team to victory against us. I agree, Brianna.

He's happy to have your support, especially. Now he thinks I'm a fan. He knows that your blood runs blue. You know what he said? Even though you're from Queensland, he knows your blood runs blue. It only runs blue if I'm in the real, real deep cold. No, not even then, Brianna. It does not ever run blue.

Mum's not as angry as me. Look, she's just happy to be here. I am dirty. Oh, you are? Right, okay. Say, Clint, Merry Christmas, you filthy animal. Brian Clint. Look, this might be a trigger warning for some people.

If you've ever been in the position where you're going through security at the airport and all of a sudden they say, excuse me, ma'am, or excuse me, sir, is this your bag? And you think, oh, no, what have I forgot that's in my bag? Is there a banana in there? That's what Kiwis worry about coming back into the country, a banana or an apple. We're terrified that there might be some fresh fruit in our luggage. I love that on border security. Like if it's border security Heathrow, there's like, you know,

cocaine and different types of drugs. Methamphetamine. Methamphetamine. Knives. This guy had a bunch of cocaine up his bottom. Yeah. Whereas in New Zealand on border control this guy, we found

an apple in his bag and he's going away for a long time. This guy accidentally bought a fruit fly into the country. You joke, but it's serious business. But I just think it's funny the differences of the shows. Can you imagine people from the UK, they sit down, they're like, oh yeah, border security

loved this show. And they're like this is, yeah, border security, love this show. And they're like, this is just about people bringing old fruit in. It's a Mandarin. What's going on? Anyway, this story doesn't take place in the UK nor in New Zealand, but it takes place in Dubai. Right. Where you might remember her, pretty famous from Geordie Shore, Charlotte Crosby.

Oh, this is the Geordie Shore theme. Remember that? The show's so old we've had to record this in off VHS. Yeah, but she became super famous from that show. Everyone knows who that is. She recently took a trip to Dubai with her best friend Adam Frisby. She was the one who was with Gaz. They were the Ross and Rachel of

Geordie Shore. They had ups and downs. Anyway, she went with this guy called Adam and they almost didn't make it into the country after she got stopped at customs for having something in her bag. Uh-oh. I've met her, by the way, a couple of times.

She's a loose goose, so I'm very interested to know what was in her bag. Her friend Adam actually posted about it and said, Charlotte and I got pulled at customs at the airport because she had an adult fun toy in her hand luggage. Oh, right. Okay. So all those jokes that I was going to make about what might be in her luggage, it actually just was.

She nearly got arrested and we had to plead with airport security. Are you not allowed to take adult fun toys into Dubai? Yeah, I'm not exactly sure. I do know, obviously, in Dubai things can be very kind of, I mean, if you've seen. Restrictive. Yeah, restrictive, especially for women. Oh, yeah. Like you can't do a lot of different things

that you wouldn't even think about doing in this country. People can go to prison for public displays of affection. Drinking is heavily restricted. But I would have thought an adult fun toy you would, if it's in your own luggage. If you can't show a public display of affection, imagine pulling that big thing out at the airport. Well, not publicly.

I'm sure she was using it privately. But they would have pulled it out at the airport and said, what's this? She would have had to explain. Anyway, they- We joke. That sounds terrifying. Exactly.

We joke about it. But I looked into it because there was that story that wasn't that long ago. Like it was this year and I looked into it because there was a guy who was going into Dubai and he got caught, or I think he was already in Dubai actually, and he got caught with a vape that had CBD oil in it. Oh, yeah. Anyway, he got sentenced to, it was looking like 25 years in prison. And it was just one

vape. It wasn't like he was selling it, like he had heaps of it to sell it. It was just one vape with CBD oil in it. Anyway, they eventually cut his sentence down to 10 years following an appeal. 10 years? Yes. Is he serving it? I think so. I think he's there at this stage. Screw that. It was found in his car anyway. So he's in prison.

You know that feeling when you go through customs and you're a pretty straight person like me. There's nothing much nefarious going on in our personal lives. But when you go through customs in a foreign country, you go, do I have a gun? Do I have a knife? Do I have a knife? Do I have drugs in my bag? Is there drug residue on my person?

Do I have enough illegal fireworks to sell to all of Great Britain? Maybe. Am I carrying explosives? Maybe. Did I bring 25 kilos worth of fireworks with me? I don't know. I can't remember. I could have.

I can't remember. I can't remember if I packed my own bag. Yeah, anyway, they got out and luckily no charges were laid or she didn't get in trouble. To Charlotte. To Charlotte. Not for the other guy, unfortunately. Well, good.

I'm glad she's not going to prison for a adult fun toy. There's stuff that they're looking into, though, just to go off topic a bit, where they're looking at if a foreigner does get caught with anything like that, they're looking at instead of holding them in the country and getting a 25-year sentence to deporting them back to their own country, so he might be able to go home sooner rather than later. That would have helped Chappelle Corby.

Yes, it would have. I thought we could ask this afternoon on 0800DIALZM, what did you have in your bag when you went through airport security? Because, you know, there's times where we forget. There's times when someone else puts something in our bag without letting us know. Yes. There's also times where you try to get away with it.

Like there's three. There's a forget. There's I forgot. There's a times where you try to get away with it. Like there's three. There's a forget. There's I forgot. There's a stitch up by someone else. And there's just a flagrant, you know what, I'm going to see if I can get this antique knife that I bought back from, I don't know. I'm going to give it a whirl.

West Africa. Remember that time recently I was travelling back to Auckland from Queenstown and my bag got pulled aside and I was like, oh, no, what have I got in my bag? What have I got in my bag? What have I got in my bag? And I had those miniature gag hands. The tiny hands. They were tiny hands that I'd been playing with and this woman pulls them out of my bag

and she goes, what are these? Can you imagine what they look like on the scanner? You went tiny hands. She would have been like, does this girl have tiny human hands in her bag? Brianne Clint. Charlotte Crosby from Geordie Shore has been pulled up in a Dubai airport after she'd forgotten that she had had her adult fun toy in her carry-on. Yeah. Well, do you reckon she forgot or do you think she was just like,

this is not a... It's one of her most prized possessions. She puts it in her carry-on. You know, if stuff happens... Oh, I didn't realise it was carry-on. I thought it was in her packed luggage. No, puts it in her carry-on. You know, if stuff happens. I didn't realise it was carry-on. I thought it was in her packed luggage. No, it was in her carry-on. Even then?

Is it a battery issue? Is that why she wasn't allowed to file that? Maybe. Could have been a battery issue, but we don't know what kind it was. Because I don't think that, none of them are sharp, are they? Like you couldn't. Oh, it depends. Couldn't make a stabbing action with it.

It depends what you're buying, what type. It's more prodding than stabbing, isn't it? Yeah, the rabbit kind has a pointy ears. Anyway, we're asking you this afternoon on 0800-DIALS-ZM, what did you have in your bag when you went through airport security? Jenna's texting. G'day, Jenna. Hi, Jenna.

Hi. What happened? Tell us the story. Well, when my twin brother and I were 17, we went over to South Korea. And, you know, we did like a bunch of stuff over there. We went to the markets and things and bought like lots of just crazy stuff.

And, yeah, my brother bought a BB gun just to play around with when we were over there. And he didn't realise he'd left it in his bag. So when we were trying to come back out of the country, he got stopped and questioned and detained by the airport security. Those BB guns look incredibly real too. Yeah, they do look really real. And they don't do like a test shot.

They don't get them out and pull the trigger to see if a bullet or a BB comes out of them. So what happened, Jenna? Did they just take the gun and give him a warning or did he get a fine? Yeah, well, luckily we managed to track down our interpreter who we couldn't find immediately. Oh, language barrier as well. Oh, God, I would be so stressed out. She managed to just explain that he was just stupid and didn't realise and they let him go. Sorry, my client BB stupid.

He would have poopied his pants, I bet. Can you imagine? Thanks, Jenna. This person wants to be anonymous. Oh, international lady of mystery. Hello, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hello. What did you have in your bag going through airport security?

I had pre-packed cheese from a cheese factory. Okay. And were you coming into New Zealand? No, I was leaving Australia to go to New Zealand. Right, that's what I mean. You were coming here into New Zealand. Coming home, yeah. Is it the Kiwis that had the issue with your pre-packed cheese?

Yep. God, this sounds like something I would do anonymous and I've never related to anything more. How much cheese were you packing? Not a lot. Like not enough to make it worthwhile, like not enough for resale, just for personal use? Yeah, yeah.

I think they're probably more concerned whether it's not sealed properly or something. Look, I think I know what the issue is. I think cheese, dairy and in particular cheese, is such a huge market for New Zealand that they can't risk having a competitor brand come into the country. Because what if this Australian cheese you were bringing in is better than our cheese and people find that out, you know?

You could bring the entire New Zealand economy crashing down, Anonymous. Yeah, well, it was pretty good cheese, I'll tell you that much. Anonymous is still dirty about not having the cheese. I miss that cheese. She's like, God, they took the cheese off me. They wouldn't even let me eat it. One more criminal on the phone with us. Hello, Anonymous.

Hi, Anonymous. Hello. Hello. Tell us, what did you have in your bag that got you in trouble at the airport? So I wasn't actually at the airport. I was sitting on the plane. It was fully loaded, and my name gets called over the loudspeaker. They escort me off the plane, and at the boarding gate, I see my bag,

and they say, your bag is vibrating. And I said, oh, that'll be my toothbrush. Right. Okay. You're a good answer. Yeah, of course it was. It definitely was not my toothbrush. And they knew that.

Oh, they knew. So wait, please tell me you didn't have to turn it off while they were all standing there. Yeah, I did. They didn't standing there. Yeah, I did. They didn't look, but no, I did. Wow. They were like, is that a bomb in your bag? And you're like, it's kind of the bomb. Yeah, no, it was terrible.

There you go, Anonymous. That's so embarrassing. That's enough, I think, to make people not want to travel with them and just buy them in each country they go to and make them like a single-use item. Yeah, but if you travel a lot, very expensive. Very lonely, too. Very lonely. Bree and Clint. That story just before about the vibrating luggage.

Yes. I'd love to see some airport stats on how often it, because everyone would be like, it's my toothbrush. I'd love to know some stats on how often it actually is the toothbrush. I mean. And how often it is, you know. I think, to be honest, sometimes I think they only invented electric toothbrushes

as a cover-up for these situations. For other vibrating items. Yeah. Yeah, right. It's the only reason. If you don't know what we're talking about, we're talking about PlayStation DualShock controllers. Of course we are.

Duh. I love that game on PlayStation 007. 00. Double O. Seven. Gold member. Goldfinger. Oh, Goldfinger, sorry. Or gold member, that's good too. Yeah O. Seven. Goldmember. Goldfinger. Oh, Goldfinger, sorry.

Or Goldmember, that's good too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Goldmember. All right, let's get it. Goldmember was Austin Powers. Yeah, it was the spinoff. Both of them work. Let's change subjects quickly. Hi, Jane.

Hi, Jane. Hi. How are you? I'm good. That's good, Jane. I'm keen to do your birthday, Banger. What's your birthday? My birthday is the 4th of the 5th, 1994. May the 4th be with you, Jane. You were 16 in 2010. And on the 4th of May, on your 16th birthday, this had a number one hit.

Twice in two weeks, come up this song. It hasn't won recently, though. You get B.O.B. and Hayley Williams' Airplanes. Do you like it, Jane? Yeah. You sure? Do you really? Yeah, it's my go-to song in the bath.

Oh, okay. In the bath. Yeah, why not? I get that. I love that song. Always have. Yeah, totally. It's a great song. Louise is here. Louise. Hi, why not? Yeah, I get that. I love that song. Always have. Yeah, totally. It's a great song.

Louise is here. Let's go to Louise. Hi, Lou. Kia ora. How was your weekend, mate? Oh, average. You know what? I love an honest answer.

I do love that. Do I ask why? Average to stink? Just, you know, didn't do often, really. Oh, right. A bit boring. Yeah. I mean, I'm in the Waikato. There's nothing to do. Yeah, fair enough.

Hopefully you've got some cool stuff planned for Christmas though, do you? Maybe. We'll see. She doesn't. Louise is like, oh, should I lie here? Make myself sound more exciting. So I can just hear my damn birthday begging, get on with it, Brian Clint.

Louise, what's your birthday, mate? 26th of the 4th, 1990. All right, you were 16 in 2006. And on the 26th, on your 16th birthday, this had a number one hit. Tony Hart, man, only thinks about the... You got a real big heart, but I'm looking at you. You got real big brains, but I'm looking at you.

Black Eyed Peas, Will.i.am, that's beat. I don't give a keep looking at my... Do you like it, Louise? It'll be a thing if you're looking at my... Do you want an honest answer? Yeah, you've been honest with us so far, so no, you don't. Fair enough, Louise. What would you have been happy with?

Anything relevant. What do you mean relevant? It's your 16th birthday. Like, the segment is literally a time machine. Yeah, but it's not really, is it? Well, who was relevant in 2006 that's still relevant now? No one. No one.

Is there anyone? I mean, Avril Lavigne's coming back in a big way. Pink, maybe. Avril Lavigne, maybe. Relevant is relative, too. Andrew, one more for you. G'day, Andrew. G'day, Andy.

Hi, guys. How are you? Good, mate. You're not going to be a hard man to please, Andy, I know. You're going to be easily pleased, aren't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, he didn't say yes. No.

Now I'm worried. I'm worried for you, Andy. I will neither confirm nor deny. He's a tough taskmaster. We'll see what happens. What's your birthday? 25th of February, 1998. Right, Nate, you were 16 in 2014,

and on the 25th of Feb in 2014, this was number one. I don't have... I believe this is a hugely underrated Sam Smith song. It was his first single and it didn't really connect. Yeah. But it's a great song. It got overshadowed by Lunch Money Lewis. Yeah.

He got bills. Do you like this, Andrew? Yes, I do. That's a tune, Andy. I really like that one. I don't think I've heard that come up at all in Birthday Banger before. And seeing as Andrew likes it too, I'm going to vote for it. Let's go with that.

I'm going with you, Andrew. Yeah. Andrew with some vintage Sam Smith from 2014. You've won Birthday Banger. Well done. Thank you, guys. Brian Clint, ZM. Brian Clint.

Big warning here If you are a Sex and the City fan And you have not yet watched the first episode Of the reboot And what's it called? The actual reboot And then there was And just like that And just like that

If you haven't watched the first episode The conversation we're about to have Contains a major spoiler So maybe just turn us off for a couple of minutes. In fact, definitely turn us off if you don't want the spoiler. But it came out on Friday and it's been global headlines as far as entertainment goes. Look, Sex and the City is one of my all-time favourite shows

along with producer Anastasia. And her and I both watched the new show and Just Like That, the reboot, on Friday night. And there was a lot of text messages that went back and forth. and her and I both watched the new show and Just Like That, the reboot, on Friday night. And there was a lot of text messages that went back and forth where there was crying, there was tears, there was anger. We were upset. And then it was a lot of emotion. Do you think we can get around it by saying,

and here's the spoiler, by the way, there's a major death. Do you think we can get around it without saying who it is? One of the main characters they kill off in the first episode, and it's not Samantha because we already knew Samantha, Kim Cattrall's character, wasn't going to be on the show. No, but everyone expected her to die. Well, I thought when I read the spoilers leading up to the show on Friday night that they were going to kill Samantha's character, I mean Kim Cattrall's character Samantha Roth.

And I was like, oh yeah, but that was, you know, I mean that was coming. But it wasn't Samantha. Let's just put it that way. Someone else. So if you've seen it, the way that this person dies is from a heart attack. The heart attack occurs after this person has been using a particular type of exercise equipment. That piece of equipment is a Peloton exercise bike, which is a real bike.

It's a real company. Peloton are a real company, and they make spin bikes like you would use at Les Mills or something like that, and they've got screens on them, and you can do a live spin class at your house they're pretty cool these bikes you know what is so interesting i don't know what you're about to talk about but when i was watching this episode i saw this person getting into the peloton and i was like oh that'd be quite fun me too at home me too good yeah and then I looked up how much they were. They're very flash. They're very flash.

And then as the episode plays out, I was like, maybe you won't get one. So that is what has happened globally. And this is one of the first times a TV show has done this. After this episode aired, the Sex and the City reboot, the first episode aired, and this person died on a Peloton bike, shares in Peloton dropped globally by 10%. People started selling their Peloton

shares. That's what I thought. And I don't know whether it's out of them going, oh, these things aren't safe. Which they are safe. They're as safe as doing a normal exercise bike. Or going, I can't believe this person killed off an important character on my favourite TV show. Because you know what I thought originally when I was watching it,

and it was quite a big storyline throughout the first episode, this person using the Peloton bike. Yeah. And I was like, oh, they must have done some sort of in-branding show deal. Like product placement. Product placement with Peloton. I thought so too because it was so prominent. Yeah, and I was like great brand deal

because I made me want to get one yeah and then after I saw the whole episode play out and this character dies but from a heart attack after using one I was like and they probably didn't do that in a brand deal yeah or they didn't know that was coming maybe they said to them hey we because this is a huge spoiler by the way maybe they said we want to feature one of your bikes heavily in the first episode. It's huge. It's going to be seen by millions and millions of people around the world. Do we have your permission?

And they're like, yes, please. We'll send you a couple of bikes. No worries. And then they use the bike to kill one of the main characters. Can you imagine? Oh, God. Yeah. I wonder how, did you find out how much they are?

The bikes? Yeah. You can't buy them in New Zealand. The closest you can buy them is Sydney, Australia. I actually emailed the website today because I wanted to get one. Oh, you still want one? Yeah, I still. Are you sure?

I don't think I'll die on it. Well, neither did they, to be honest. Neither did this person. They're about $4,000. Jeez! I think I might just go down to the local gym. Brian Clint A substitute teacher from Austin, Texas

Has been fired in the last week for an inappropriate act He performed in front of a classroom full of students Oh no I know you're uncomfortable about this I need you to tell me what it is Or I don't need you to tell me what it is I know, it's too It's hard to make jokes at this stage

You can't make jokes Okay, so I'll explain I'll set the scene first It was his first day Taking over this classroom of students Teenage students Impressionable young minds Has he farted?

No, he hasn't farted I don't think That'd be BS if he got fired for that I don't think you'd lose your job for farting That security guard lost his job for farting. Yes. Do you remember? The guy who filmed himself doing all the farts?

Yeah, but he was a recidivist repeat offender. It went viral and then he lost his job. So this teacher has set up a disco ball, some lights Bought his own microphone. And the teacher has performed a karaoke version of Britney Spears' Toxic. What's wrong with that? I don't know. But it was one of those situations where... That sounds like a great substitute teacher. No one asked for it, though.

No one asked for it. They're just doing their work. You don't know what you need until you see it in front of you. He didn't even stand up from his desk. He just brought the lyrics up on the permanent teacher's computer. Fantastic. And sung from the desk. Would you like to have a listen?

I'd love to have a listen. Because of course, being teenagers, they all whipped their phones out and recorded their teacher. Here it is. Here's his performance of Britney Spears' Toxic that cost him his job. He's great And I love what you do Don't you know that you're toxic Intoxicating now We're in love now He's not changed the key of it and everything It sounds fantastic

Why don't you get paid for that? And appropriate behaviour That's not something that should be going on in the classroom, apparently. Oh, I'm so glad I don't go to school anymore. God, fun police. Do you reckon Gen Z just didn't know the song? And so they're like, he's, I don't know, he's. They fired him because they wanted Hit Me Baby One More Time.

That's what they want.
